My baby's so mean and evil, I don't know what to do
 Treat me low and dirty, I can't get along with you

 When we lived in a small town, you was so nice an' neat
 When we lived in a small town, you was so nice an' neat
 Brought you to Chicago, you do nothin' but walk the street

 Well, she used to cook my breakfast and bring it to my bed
 She used to wash my face and even comb my hair
 She's so evil, I don't know what to do
 You treat me so low down and dirty, I can't get along with you
